Just now, when England's queen is re-
ceiving the compliments and gifts of the
nations, and Brittanias glory is being
proclaimed in prose and song, it may be
well to remember that there is dark
side to the picture, and that behind the
splendors of royalty and the glitter of an
arrogant aristocracy stalks a vast army
of the most wretched people to be found
in any enlightened and prosperous nation
of the earth. This reflection is sug-
gested by the remarks of Canon Wilber-
force at Chickering hall, New York,
few days ago. in which he SAID the pros
perity of England Is at the cost of the
degradation of the masses. The central
idea of the canon's address was that the
English people, more than those of any
other country, are the slaves Of drink, and
that the aristocracy-men IN parlla-
ment and in the government-weret thriv.
ing upon this slavery. The evidence of
statistics shows that the charge against
the English people is warranted and the
distinguished preacher is sufficient
authority for the rest.
But 1t is not this solely that accounts
for the extent of popular degradation in
England. The system upon which its
ruling class is founded and perpetuated
is In no small measure responsible, while
the bold immoralites of that class are Il
demoralizlng example to the masses. AS
this system becomes weaker-and it has
grown so rapidly within a few years.
and the government gets nearer TO the
governed, there is steady elevation of
the people in character and aspira-
tions. All the pomp and circum.
STANCES of this jubilee week,
with its royal pageants aud entertain
ments. is really stimulus to that popu-
lar displeasnre and discomfort which are
the incentives to dissipation. The help
less thousands who swarm London
might very easily see in it mockery of
their misery and a tax on their poverty.
The masses of the English people, while
it may be true that they enjoy a suf-
ficient degree OF personal liberty. can
find no encouragement in their govern
mental system, managed as it is in large
part by an instructed arlstocracy that
makes concessions ouly as it cannot help
making them. But the situation is not
hopeless. There has been progress and
there will be more. The people will yet
have undivided rule in England. and
then there will be better chance for the
moral regeneration of the masses which
| reformers like Wilberforce are seeking

The extent to which such speculation
as the Chicago wheat deal effects the en-
tire business system of the country may
be understood from the favorable condi.

of that corner. The deal, in conjunction
with the cotton speculation, had SO
checked the exports of those commodi-
ties that the balance of trade in favor of
this country was greatly reduced, and

HE somewhat fulsome, yet in the

The somewhat fulsome, yet in the
whole, cleverly constructed letter of Pres
ident Cleveland to Queen Victoria, is
very likely not to be entirely pleasing to
q considerable element upon which the
democratic party in New York very
largely depend. There will undoubtedly
be objection to the wish that the queens
reign may be prolonged, so far AS the
president assumes to reflect the general
voice of his countrymen, and there will
be some reasons for such objection.
Americans who feel any concern in the
matter, and perhaps very few do, would
not give their voice in support of the
reign of any monarch, even as matter
of courtesy. An American who honors
the institutions of his own country can
not consistently wish the continuance of
political system that has nothing in
common with those institutions. 1t was
proper enough to congratulate the queen
and to wish her more years of life and all
the happiness she can derive from them,
but it was overstraining courtesy for the
president of the American republic to
wish prolongation of her reign as the
general voice of this. republican nation.

Carl schurz on Crutches.

NeW York Letter IN Kansas CITY Star.
Carl Schurz in wheeled chair Is one
the sights of Central park. He is still
suffering good deal Of inconvenience, to
say the least. from his broken thigh. For
six weeks after the fall on the pavement
that resulted iu fracturlng the limb he
was confined to his bed. That was more
than three months ago. He lives at the
top of one of the great Navarro flat
buildings at Fifty ninth street and Cen.
tral park. but as he is on the south side
he gets no view of the park from his
windows. The elevator brings the Wis
itor directly to his door, which opens
from the main hall into an irregularly
shaped room, originally designed for
reception room, but transformed into u
library. The walls are almost concealed
with high bookcases, all well filled, and
engravings, bits of armor and curios
take up the remaining space. This
room is not used as a study, however,
but simply as place for the keeping of
books. When your correspondent
called upon him to-day, he was ushered
into much larger room off the library
hall, at the further side OF which Mr..
Schurz sat under 4 window. His crutchcs
leaned against the wall Mt his side. He
held on his knees writing tablet upon
